Great name for a band
Noisy Assumption
The story
Noisy Assumption was formed in the tumultuous streets of New York in 2012, initially as a trio of school friends with a shared passion for music that reflects life's raw realities. Frontman and main songwriter, Mark "Scratch" Conner, bassist Joe "Fingers" Llewellyn, and drummer Dave "Stix" Kavanagh played their first gig in a dingy basement club, generating a buzz with their unconventional sound that defied expectations. Their music, a unique blend of politically charged lyrics and a powerful, grungy sound, earned them a growing underground following.
After a few years of heavy gigging and local success, Noisy Assumption expanded their lineup in 2016 to include a second guitarist, Sarah "Riff" Reynolds, whose melodic and aggressive playing style added a rich layer of complexity to their sound. The addition of Sarah allowed the band to broaden their musical spectrum and push their sonic boundaries.
Noisy Assumption is an Alternative Rock band with strong elements of Grunge and Punk influences.
Flickering Shadows
Verse 1 [Am] From the depths of the city's [Em] core, [G] Beneath the layers of the urban [D] lore, [Am] We rise, we shout, to even the [Em] score, [G] We are the flickering shadows, hear our [D] roar. Chorus [C] Flickering shadows on the [G] wall, [Am] Echoing the rise and fall, [F] Of a world that's standing tall, [C] Through the chaos, we hear the [G] call. Verse 2 [Am] Noisy voices against the [Em] machine, [G] Assumptions stripped so bare and [D] lean, [Am] We rise, we shout, no longer un[Em]seen, [G] We are the flickering shadows, wild and [D] keen. Chorus [C] Flickering shadows on the [G] wall, [Am] Echoing the rise and fall, [F] Of a world that's lost in brawl, [C] Through the chaos, we hear the [G] call. Bridge [F] Hear us roar, hear us [G] call, [Am] On the system that's bound to [Em] fall, [F] We are the shadows on the [G] wall, [Am] We are the voice that answers the [G] call. Chorus [C] Flickering shadows on the [G] wall, [Am] Echoing the rise and fall, [F] Of a world that's doomed to crawl, [C] Through the chaos, we hear the [G] call. Outro [Am] Flickering shadows, we rise, we [Em] roar, [G] Noisy Assumption, forever [D] more...
Biggest fan
Billy "The Rookie" Parker
"Noisy Assumption has been my favorite band since I first saw them in a small club back in 2015. There's something unapologetically raw about their music that resonates with me. The way they fuse punk and grunge into their alt-rock sound is just mind-blowing. 'Flickering Shadows' speaks to the rebellion in me - its lyrics, the aggressive guitar riffs, it's all a perfect representation of the struggle against conformity. This band is not just about music; it's about standing up and making noise. They represent a voice for those unheard, and that's why they're my favorite."
